Title: Apparatus and method for synchronizing additional data and base data
Inventor: GEYERSBERGER STEFAN
IPC: G10L19/00
Filed: 2005-09-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adding additional data, for example, multi-channel expansion data, to base data, for example, conventional stereo data. Said method consists of preparing (10) a test finger print of test data which is related to a test moment in time of the test data. The test data is identical to the additional data or the base data or parametrically dependent on the additional data or the base data. Reference moment in time information, which is dependent on a reference moment in time in the reference data which is the conventional stereo data, can be determined (11) by using the test finger print. Subsequently, the additional data to the base data is manipulated (12) by using the reference moment in time information and the test moment in time information, in order to obtain manipulated data which enable a synchronous reproduction (13) of the data information to be carried out. As a result, a robust and flexible possibility for obtaining synchronous, in particular, subsequent expansion of base data by additional data is provided.
Patent CA-2582727-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CLAAR JANE VAN KEUREN
IPC: G06F7/00
Filed: 2005-09-29
Abstract: A tree-based datastore comprising a forest of interconnected trees that can be generated and/or accessed may require specialized saving and restoring processes to ensure that all the links are properly maintained whether it will be restored in full or in part. A previous process acted on known features of the trees based datastore to generate a file of metadata and packetize each of the nodes of the structure, carefully saving the links and lists of links with old memory addresses accounted for. This shows how to build a save file without saving all links, using a new restore process to restore the links instead.
